So, 7 weeks on well actually 8 now and me bits have been changing quite fast.

As I said before, I started on 3 days a week with no particular routine, I just felt it was the best way to get back into things, I was all over the place but after a couple of weeks I settled down, and is as follows.

I now do 5 on 2 off, Mon to Fri 60 minutes a session and work hard.

Monday: Chest Back (if time some abs)
Tuesday: Legs Abs
Wednesday: Arms, mainly tri's and Bi's (quick cardio)
Thursday: Shoulders & bigger cardio
Friday: Depending on how the muscles have recovered from the week I may do chest and legs but in the main wait to see how I feel. Abs

Weights have changed dramatically, probably doubled most in the 7 weeks some a bit more, I like pyramid working so start on what is ok for 10 reps, then increase weight down to 8 and so on until I can barely blast one rep out sometimes two with some spotting assistance.

Changes thus far are Chest 43" waist 32" upper arms are up to 15" and thighs are around 22/23" weight has not changed that much, only a pound or two up but the fat content has dropped to 15% already according to the equipment here at the centre.

Eating wise is probably the hardest at the mo, trying to get 6 well balanced meals down me each day, and 2 or 3 protein drinks, currently taking in 3000 calories which is not enough but hey, it is early days; water is the one thing I make certain I get at least 3 litres sometimes 4 but never less than 3. Have not touched the scotch, all I have now is a glass of wine with evening meal. Interestingly I have just had a cholesterol test this morning and testosterone as well, at 50+ I may need some help in the latter.

Supps wise I mix ON 100% whey with EAS max milk for protein
Tribex (I know, probably a waste but let€™s see)
Norateen 2
EAS nitron 5
Zinc
Creatine MH and EE
EAS EFA hp
Met RX tribulus
EAS Phosphagen elite
EAS Muscle Armor

IS SUPERDROL EVER WORTH IT? Advice appreciated.

I take the Elite whilst in the gym, MA in the morning and afternoon and the rest as per suggested times and doses.

I feel better, stronger, and the mirror is more pleasing to look in, I am going to carry on this time and see what a 12 months brings, aim is to get to 200 pounds by around March 2007 then see how things are and start cutting up if I have built the sizes back up, target for guns is 17" by January and am going to see if 18" is possible by the summer of 2007.

So that is where I am at the mo, it is working for me although loosing fat is great but in a way it does make you look smaller but more defined, worse with clothes on but better with yer kit off.

I'll keep you posted and get the pictures on around Christmas time.
